Whyte Yarcowie is a small rural locality in South Australia's Mid North region, approximately 200 kilometers north of Adelaide. Established in 1875, the town's name is derived from the Aboriginal term "Yarcowie," meaning "wide water," with "Whyte" added in 1929 to honor early pastoralist John Whyte. The area was once a bustling railway town, featuring a flour mill, schools, hotels, and an Anglican Church, which was reported to be the smallest in Australia at the time. Today, Whyte Yarcowie offers a peaceful retreat amidst picturesque landscapes, with a tight-knit community lifestyle and limited amenities. Its proximity to larger towns like Peterborough provides access to additional services and amenities.
